5 out of 5 starsI have wanted these earrings for so long and I was very excited to finally splurge on them! They are just like I remembered from the craft festival and can't wait to wear them.

5 out of 5 starsI'd first seen these at an arts and crafts fair in Chicago several years ago and was thrilled to find them on Etsy! The quality is excellent (well worth the wait!) and the items match the description perfectly. We get complimented on the coaster all the time! Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsBeautifully crafted cutting board! I couldn't be happier with it! Seller was very accommodating and made one with a juice groove specifically for me. Shipping was quick and it was packaged securely. I purchased this as a gift, but It's so pretty and well made I'm having second thoughts about giving it away!

5 out of 5 starsVery good quality and as per photo. A repeat order (to replace identical list earring) so exactly as expected!

5 out of 5 starsBought one if these in 2012 and finally need to retire it since we didn't take care of it. That being said, the fact that it still lasted nearly a decade with zero care is freaking impressive. The new one arrived today and it's just as gorgeous as the first one. Thank you so much!!

5 out of 5 starsIt’s so beautiful my husband was reluctant to use it at first, but once he did he couldn’t wait to use it again. It is so much nicer to cut on then the plastic boards we had been using. A prefect addition to any kitchen with a nerd who loves to cook or just a cook in need of a great cutting board!

My setup at one of the many craft shows I do each year.
Indianapolis-based geek/woodworker creates pixel art cutting boards and coasters
1337motif is Cameron Oehler. I am an Indianapolis-based geek and woodworker who grew up playing Nintendo and helping out in my dad’s cabinet shop as a summer job. In 2007, my sister bought me a set of Space Invaders wall decals, and as I sat on my couch gazing at them and thinking about how I wished I had a nicer cutting board, 1337motif was born. I built my first Space Invaders cutting board for myself, and when I posted pictures online, it was picked up by boingboing.net, and I received requests from around the world. Since then, I have used my wood pixel art technique to create cutting boards, coasters, and keychains featuring various characters from the games I loved growing up (and still love), and have expanded my business to include jewelry and other 'classy' (non-geeky) designs. My work has been featured in Food Network Magazine, and on tons of cool sites, including Wired, ThinkGeek, Apartment Therapy, Kotaku, Gizmodo, BoingBoing, and more.
People ask me all the time what the name 1337motif means. 1337motif is a play on words combining some geek lingo, “1337,” pronounced leet, which, to borrow from Wikipedia, is used as an adjective to describe formidable prowess or accomplishment, especially in the fields of online gaming and in its original usage, computer hacking, and a common mispronounciation of the word leitmotif, which is a recurring theme usually in music or literature. So, 1337motif is a business where the theme of geekiness recurs throughout my work and inspires many of my designs.
Thanks for checking out my shop. Feel free to drop me a line.
